The UPWP is an annual work program that outlines MPO planning activities. Its adoption every
year (or optional every two years) is required by Federal law. Its implementation is monitored by
the funding agencies (USDOT and ODOT). It is a "unified" program that includes all
transportation planning activities that are taking place within the MRMPO geographic planning
boundary (Exhibit A). It is written and developed by MRMPO staff and reviewed, amended and
31
Attachment 5 (Agenda Item 6)
adopted by the MRMPO Policy Committee. Subtasks will be monitored to assess progress.
Progress information is provided as reports and proposals for action to the Policy Committee and
technical advisory committee. Summary progress reports are provided to ODOT as part of
quarterly reporting process.
The annual Self Certification Statement will also be prepared. Development of the Certification
Statement will consider the MRMPO's effectiveness in fulfilling federal requirements regarding
the 3-C (Comprehensive, Continuing and Coordinated) and multimodal urban transportation
planning processes. Deliverables associated with this subtask include an adopted UPWP,
Quarterly reports, monthly time sheets with task and subtask tracking.
Amendments to the UPWP are required when there is a change to either the work program, an
addition to the work program and a budget revision resulting in changes to the work program.
The MRMPO Policy Committee must approve all amendments to the UPWP.

Attachment 5 (Agenda Item 6)
The MRMPO recognizes the importance and need for providing an active public involvement
process, which supplies complete information, timely public notice, full public access to key
decisions, and supports early and continuing involvement of the public in all MRMPO planning
and program activities. The purpose of this work element is to improve, strengthen and fulfill all
these needs. A good public participation program includes public education, public involvement
and public relations. The MRMPO adopted a Public Participation Plan in FY 2015 to fulfill
MAP-21 obligations and the MRMPO’s commitment to actively engaging the public in the
transportation planning process. The plan was recently updated in FY 2018.
a) Implementation of Public Participation Plan
The FAST Act calls for a “proactive public involvement process that provides complete
information, timely public notice, full public access to key decisions, and support early
and continuing involvement of the public in developing plans.” In FY 2015, the
MRMPO adopted a Public Participation Plan. Under this plan, the MRMPO seeks to
increase opportunities for all segments of the community, including low-income,
minority and disabled citizens, to participate in the metropolitan planning process.
Implementation includes efforts to develop new visualization techniques for TIP project
selection including greater use of photographs in discussion of site locations and
conditions, and posting on the web all applications and descriptive materials, and
evaluation criteria and procedures. All applicants for MRMPO discretionary funds are
asked to make presentations with visuals to the MRMPO’s committees. Presentation
materials are posted on the MRMPO website. In FY 2016, the MRMPO developed a
virtual open house for the public along with an interactive project map. This use of the
web represents an investment in expanded public involvement that will continue in
FY2019. Public participation at the virtual open houses can be tracked (number of site
visits and comments received) to determine its effectiveness. Spanish translation services
are available to the public upon 24 hour notice to the MPO.
Deliverables:
• Ongoing implementation of the MRMPO Public Participation Plan.
• Fact sheets, project progress reports, newsletters, new visualization
techniques and up-to-date website, and other activities as identified.
Timeframe: Ongoing July to June
Lead Agency: RVCOG; Supporting Agencies: ODOT, USDOT

Description: This task relates to near term activities such as federal Surface Transportation
Block Grant Program (STBG) and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality
33
Attachment 5 (Agenda Item 6)
(CMAQ) project prioritization and programming, air quality conformity
activities, maintenance and update of the Metropolitan Transportation
Improvement Program, which is a financially-constrained list of
transportation improvements for the MRMPO area, and development of the
annual list of obligated projects.
Objective: Undertake activities associated with short-term project programming within
a five-year horizon.
Agencies to Coordinate: MRMPO member jurisdictions and agencies, ODOT, DEQ, DLCD, and
USDOT
Subtask 2.1 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP); Annual Projects Listing
Work Task Budget: $XXX
FHWA MPO Planning Funds $XXX
ODOT Match for FHWA-PL funds $XXX
FTA 5303 Metropolitan Planning Funds, $XXX
In-Kind Match, $XXX
Maintenance of the 2018-21 TIP is the main element in this. Development of the 2021-2024 TIP
will be a priority during this fiscal year. Also, staff will develop and publish the Annual Listing
of Obligated Projects. MRMPO coordinates with member jurisdictions and state and federal
agencies to keep the program current and develop the annual obligations report. TIP
amendments generally are initiated by sponsoring agencies. Amendments are reviewed by the
public and the TAC. The TAC forwards recommendations to the Policy Committee, which is
responsible for approving the TIP and any changes to it (beyond minor, “administrative
modifications,” which the MRMPO TIP manager is authorized to make under 23 CFR 450 to
address project changes such as phase costs and minor shifts in fund sources). All amendments
are forwarded to the ODOT STIP coordinator. MRMPO coordinates the amendment process so
member jurisdictions will be aware of the progress of projects. Example of instances that trigger
the amendment process include re-scheduling CMAQ and STP projects, Federal Transit
Administration fund changes, and project costs or other scheduling changes.
In some instances, TIP amendments can trigger requirements for a new air quality conformity
determination. Conformity activities will be determined through interagency consultation
conducted by MRMPO (see Task 2.2: Air Quality Conformity for details). Consultation occurs
on all full TIP amendments.
Deliverables:
• Annual Listing and Status of Federally-funded projects
• TIP and Amendments - Ongoing July – June
• Obligated Funds Report – December 2019
Timeframe: Ongoing July – June
Lead Agency: RVCOG; Supporting Agencies: ODOT, MRMPO member jurisdictions

Subtask 2.2 Air Quality Conformity/SIP Implementation
Work Task Budget: $XXX
FHWA MPO Planning Funds, $XXX
ODOT Match for FHWA-PL funds,$XXX
FTA 5303 Metropolitan Planning Funds, $XXX
In-Kind Match, $XX
Air quality conformity determinations are a required component of the RTP and TIP and all
amendments that expand vehicular capacity (non-exempt projects). The MRMPO will prepare
air quality conformity determinations as needed to respond to plan and program amendments.
A PM10 State Implementation Plan (SIP) is in place for the Grants Pass UGB area, setting a
regional emissions budget for on-road sources. A Carbon Monoxide SIP is in place in the Central
Business District (downtown area) in Grants Pass, which sets a Carbon Monoxide (CO)
emissions budget for Grants Pass on-road source emissions. On September 28, 2015, the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved PM10 and CO Limited Maintenance
Plans (LMPs) for Grants Pass, submitted by the State of Oregon on April 22, 2015 as a
revision to its State Implementation Plans (SIPs). In accordance with the requirements of the
Clean Air Act (CAA), the EPA approved the SIP revisions because they demonstrate that
Grants Pass will continue to meet the PM10 and the CO National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS) for a second 10-year period beyond re-designation, through 2025.
The benefit of having LMPs in place is that a regional emissions analysis will not be required,
which will save the MRMPO a considerable amount of time and funding to demonstrate
transportation conformity on future Regional Transportation Plans (RTPs) and Transportation
Improvement Program (TIPs). Funding that was allocated – in the past - to air quality emissions
modeling will be re-allocated to updating and maintaining the TIP and RTP.
The MRMPO will continue to coordinate with DEQ, ODOT, EPA, FTA and USDOT to maintain
transportation conformity status, including any coordination and consultation necessary.
As a related air quality issue, but not currently part of MRMPO’s conformity process, MRMPO
will continue monitoring and coordinating on ozone and PM2.5 standards.
